El PENDULAZO LITERARIO - Con Victor Lenore y José María Contreras Espuny

Is there a cultural pendulum swing toward Catholicism and conservatism? In the roundtable discussion "The Literary Pendulum Swing," we analyze this phenomenon, from Sara Mesa and Ana Iris Simón to YouTubers critical of woke feminism, tracing its roots back to French decadent writers like Joris-Karl Huysmans or the more recent Houellebecq, and to English writers like Graham Greene and Evelyn Waugh. Red-brownism as a symptom. The revival of popular piety and Hispanic traditions. Rosalía and her album Lux: marketing or symptom? Transsexuality as a touchstone. Cultural journalist Victor Lenore and writer and popularizer Jesús Beades discuss this broad concept from very different angles, moderated by José María Contreras Espuny. "The Literary Pendulum Swing" was a conversation that took place on May 21, 2026, following "The Catholic Gyroscope," a lecture given by Enrique García-Máiquez. Both events were part of the conference entitled "Tradition and Reaction," organized by the Ángel Herrera Oria Foundation and Fernando III University at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Seville.
